Morning Challenge
Mrs Boa started off our I.C.T focus week with a morning challenge of thinking of as many items that use ICT as possible. Everyone got loads of answers, the most popular answers were ipods and phones.
Mr Kennedy's Maths Set
In Mr Kennedy's maths set we have been focusing on measuring. (litres and millilitres.) Mr Kennedy put up a grid on the smartboard all about litres and lillilitres, He showed us half of the grid and we had to fill in the rest of it. Most of us got it straight away but others needed a bit of help to get started. We all enjoy learning about capacity but tomorrow we will be moving onto area and perimeter.
Mrs Boa's Maths Set
In Mrs Boa's maths set we played co-ordinate bingo and were each given a sheet of paper with some co-ordinates on it and on the smart board co-coordinates came up every two seconds and the first person who had got five co-ordinates crossed off shouted bingo and won everyone really enjoyed it. Tomorrow we will carry on with co-ordinates but be moving on to a bigger grid which will be more challenging.
5B Science
Today we finished off our evaporation project from last week, it was about an experiment to see how temperature effects the speed of evaporation. A few people had already finished so moved on to a quiz on the smart board, the first group did exceptionally well getting a score of 15/20 on a quiz about states of matter but sadly the second group only got 5/20 on a quiz about solids. At the end of the lesson Mr Kennedy gave us an interactive quiz on solids as a class and we scored 20 out of 20!
Year 5 Music
In music year 5 Mrs Boa taught us how to play one of our assembly songs called Bonfire Toffee. We each had a part to learn and play on tuned percussion, and we used ICT playing keyboards, the melody which was played by Sean on the violin and William, Kathryn and Holly who played it on the recorder and by Finton and Hebe in 5B. Its sounds great!
Year 5 Literacy
We started to learn how to change a boring piece of writing into an interesting piece of work. Mr Kennedy and Mrs Boa put the boring piece of writing on the interactive white boards in their classrooms for us all to see. The writing had words in it like "then there was a knock on the door I felt a bit scared." Then we turned it into something like this: "A few moments later there was a horrifying bang on the cob webbed door, terrifying me!"
Year 5 Humanities
Mr Kennedy and Mrs Boa will be showing us on the internet all about Vikings and how they lived. They use a site called Espresso which has videos about Vikings and gives us information.
